coconut oil not only great for cooking but for skin, weight loss and hair too

Over the last few years I have discovered coconut oil and its many health benefits. Many of the Health Guru's like Jordan Rubin and Dr. Mercola have been saying that olive oil is great on vegetables but too delicate for cooking, and suggest coconut oil instead. In fact Dr. Mercola says, "Coconut oil is the smartest oil you can use in cooking" and Jordan Rubin calls it the healthiest unprocessed cooking oil. I do all my cooking with coconut oil but here are some other great reasons to buy extra virgin coconut oil:

1. Hair: Coconut oil is one of the best nutrients for hair. I have tried it and it makes my hair silky.

2. Skin: It is a great moisturizer and delays wrinkles. Polynesian women have been using coconut oil for centuries as a great skin beautifier.

3. Aging: It's full of antioxidants and helps prevent degenerative diseases and premature aging

4. Metabolism: It increases the metabolism by taking stress off the pancreas, by burning out more energy.

Coconut oil also has a ton of other health benefits including lowering stress, aiding the healing process, is great for weight loss and best of all it taste great.
